Default 15x10 wheels on a stock 2 wheel drive

im putting new wheels on my truck on saturday, i have a potential buyer lined up for the old ones, but he wants to know if the will fit on his stock 2 wheel drive im not sure what the backspacing is but my wheels stick out about 1 1/2 inches out of the wheel well. i dont remember the exact year but it is a second gen. i think he plans on running a close to stock tire size.
can anyone help me out? thanks in advance.

They should fit without a problem, as long as he gets the right size tires. The backspacing shouldn't matter, as long as the bolt pattern is the same.

As long as he puts smaller tires on the wheels they'll work fine

The hubs are different on the two.
The 2WD has a larger hub cap thingy, the 4WD doesn't have one.

As long as they are lug cetric wheels, they are fine. Our second gens are lug centric and MOST after market wheels are as well...as far as tire size, he might wanna run a 265/75/15...

The hubs are different. The 2WD have this big cap thing on it, the 4WD don't. That is what I would be worried about.

I've got 33 12.50's on 15x10's with no problems. Mine is a 98 2wd with leveling kit. Your friend is going to need some wider tires than stock width with a 10' rim. The smallest size I think recommended is a 11.50 width tire- which is usually a 32' tall tire.
